INTRO: [B]
VERSE 1:
[B] I don't care if you never come home
[E] I don't mind if you just
Keep on
[B] rowing away on a distant sea
'Cause I
[F#] don't love you and you don't love
[B] me
VERSE 2:
You
[B] cause a commotion when you come to town
You
[E] give them a smile and they melt
Having
[B] lovers and friends is all good and fine
But I
[F#] don't like yours and you don't like
[B] mine
CHORUS:
La
[E] la,
[B/D#] la la la la
[F#] la
[F#]

[E] la,

[F#] la
[B]
VERSE 3:
[B] I don't care what you do at night
Oh, and
[E] I don't care how you get your delights
I will
[B] leave you alone, I will just let it be
I
[F#] don't love you and you don't love
[B] me
BRIDGE:
[E] I got a problem,
[B/D#] can you relate?
[C#m7] I got a woman
[B] calling love hate
[E] We made a vow we'd
[B/D#] always be friends
[C#m7] How could we know that promises
[B] end?
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 4:
[B] I tried to love you for years upon years
You re-
[E]-fuse to take me for real
It's
[B] time you saw what I want you to see
And I would
[F#] still love you, if you would just love
[B] me
REPEAT BRIDGE:
REPEAT CHORUS: [multiple times]
